Part 5: The Dollar and The Clock

January 29, 2023 • Brian Stanley • Matthew 4:19, Acts 4:13, 2 Corinthians 8:9, 1 Timothy 6:9–10, Hebrews 13:5

When one spends time getting to know the God who gave so sacrificially for us and His son who modeled humility, service, and sacrificial love it will rub off on you. The life of a Christian is to be marked by sacrificial love and generosity.

Part 4: Sacred Rythms

January 22, 2023 • Brian Stanley • Matthew 9:14–15, Acts 9:9, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Matthew 6:16–18

For the Christian, it is often in the simple and small things where God is found. It is in the daily healthy habits done in secret where we meet His grace, peace, strength, and wisdom. Others have forged a path for us; will we follow?

Part 2: Have His Ear

January 8, 2023 • Brian Stanley • Colossians 4:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Ephesians 6:18, Acts 1:14, Romans 8:34

Prayer for the Christian is unlike any other form or practice of prayer found in other religions. It is initiated by God’s voice, made possible through His Son Jesus, and avails us to something greater than what we receive from God’s hand – God Himself. By developing a rich and genuine private prayer life, Christians access the ongoing grace of God.

Part 3: Belong to His Body

January 15, 2023 • Brian Stanley • Psalm 122:1, Acts 2:44, Acts 4:32, Hebrews 10:24–25, Hebrews 3:12–13

Your Habits, God's Grace The Spiritual Disciplines have been discussed, taught, and written about for centuries. Ancient practices modeled by Jesus, his Apostles, the Church Fathers - passed down generation to generation of believers. We often hear of great discipline, duty, and necessity of such things, but somehow along the way we miss the idea that these 'disciplines' are not mere disciplines, but wonderful blessings; the very channels through which God gives us spiritual food for our survival, growth, and flourishing in mission. Join us during this series where we discover that these spiritual disciplines actually lead us to joy, and are fueled by 'His grace' rather than our performance. Join us this morning for Part 3 in our series, Rhythms of Grace

Part 1: Hear His Voice

January 1, 2023 • Brian Stanley • Matthew 11:28–30, 2 Peter 3:18, Romans 6:1, 2 Corinthians 12:9, John 1:14

How often do we stand with our hands to heaven and shout something like this, ‘God, please speak to me!’. Our heart hungers to hear the voice of the Lord. Yet, he has already spoken volumes through His written (recorded) word. When we resolve to feed regularly upon his Words, we receive the grace we so desperately desire in our lives.
